You might want to read my post. I said 'currently available in the US'. Shoguns aren't available in the US and haven't been for a good 15 years. Even when they were, they weren't what I would call a power house, especially when it came to touring bikes. You can find bucket loads of Univega, Miyata, Motobecane, Cannondale, Trek and a few other 'true' touring bikes I've forgetting right now but I can't say that I've ever run across a Shogun 'touring' bike.
